June PoWriMo Prompts 28/29
These two prompts deal with the senses.
Prompt #28: Think of an object in your hand, be it water, chemical, or a solid object. What does it feel like? What sensation does it give to you? How does it make you feel. Write about it.
Prompt #29: Think of sound. Maybe it is a person’s voice, a song, a bird’s cry. Write about that sound and its affect on you.

Raw excerpts for the 28th and 29th
In a brown moving box
I carried an entire country
in two pounds

. . .until I stumbled in my hymn
book for the Korean words
to match the sounds I was hearing
and I noticed that she was
not on the right page

June PoWriMo Day 26
Excerpt for today:
I remember the damn dog. His name was Benji, and he cost me my ankle. Of course, he was named after the movie. That didn’t matter. What mattered was it was all his fault.
June PoWriMo Prompt #26
Today is all about trends. We are all guilty of falling victim to a trend or two, especially in our younger days. If nothing else, our old pictures remind us of the fashionable choices we made that we should have avoided.
For me, it has to be apple pectin perms to make my impossibly thick hair curly, which made into a human poodle. Ha, need I say more? 😉
Prompt – think back to a trend that you followed. Why did you do it? Regret it much? Embarrassed much? Or do you own it? Write about it.

Raw excerpt for the day:
My bleached hands are full of snowflakes
that bleed of chemicals.
Yet I do not stop bleaching,
even though it is 2 am,
and you cannot see the white counter tops,
nor how hard I tried to be perfect
and failed
